' That One Menace to Rural
Life Is Lack Conveniences.
EQUIPMENT IS ADVISED
If Same Attention Were Given tha
Hoiuehokl Machinery That U
Given Farm Machinery, Work
Would be Kinder for Women.
WASHINGTON, July . The
watte of woman power is one of the.
greatest menaces to the rural life of
the nation, according to deductions
it.at specialists of the Drilled States
department of agriculture draw from
s farm-home survey conducted In the
33 northeru and western states. The
survey was made under the direction
of Miss Florence E. Ward, in charge
of extension work with women, joffice
of extension work, north and "west,
states relntlons service. The record
covers 10.015 farm homes, averaged
by taking typical communities of the
counties In which the survey was
made. Much of the Information was
gathered personally by home demon
stration agcntB, who are the field
representatives of the United States
department of agriculture and the
slate agricultural colleges,
lecture of Farm Wonuui a Work Kay.
The survey discloses a number of
the reasons why msiy women do not
find farm life attractive. The work
ins day of the average farm woman,
as shown by the survey. Is 11.3
hours, the year round. In summer
It is 13.12 hours. And 87 out of
eu-li 100 women have no regular va
cation durlni the year. On the aver
ago, the farm woman has only 1.0
Lours of leisure during the summei
slid only 2.4 In winter. Half of the
farm women are up and at work at 6
o'clock In the morning.
Forty per cent have water In the
kitchen, but the other per cent must
so to the spring or the pump to bring
water for cooking breakfast. Thirty
fix per cent help with the milking.
On the average the farm woman has
a seven-room house to keep In order.
Spventy-nlne per cent have kerenene
lamps to trim and fill. Nlnetv-six
per cent do the family washing
about half of them having washing
CASTOR I A

In Use For Over 30 Years
(in user or uver.su Tears
Signature of
machines and tha other half doing
the work with tub, wash-board and
boiler." Twenty-six per cent have gas
or electric Irons to make more com
fortable the task of Ironing. Ninety
two per cent do lorn or all of the
family sewing. Harden work is done
by 58 per cent, 94 par cent msk all
or part of tha family bread, and 60
per cent have churning to do. Eighty
one par cent of all poultry flocks are
cared for by worsen. One-fourth of
the farm women help to feed and bad
the livestock, and 24 per cent of
them spend over six weeks In the
year assisting with some part of the
old work. All of this la In addition
to cooking the family meals and car
ing for the children.
This, of course. Is the dark side cf
the shield, it does not take Into con
stdoration the many compensations
that coma with the woman's daily
round of work for the comfort of her
family, and anyone who has exper
ienced the satisfaction of living In
'the open country knows that the
average farm woman Is mora for
tunately placed than her average city
sister. But tba task Is sufficiently
grinding, as Miss Ward says, to send
the farm woman to bed "breathing a
prayer that her strength may be
equal to tomorrow's duties."
Labur-Suvuix Equipment Imoprtant.
. What is to be done about It? The
department suggests some very defi
nite things. "The Interest of the de
partment of agriculture In the re
turns from these studies as to labor,
working equipment, and compensa
tion of the farm woman are as prac
tical, ' says Miss Ward, "as Its In
terest In farm studies regarding la
bor, machinery and crop returns, and
for the same general reason." The
farm woman's working hours might
be shortened, she continues, if the
'principles of modern business were
applied to the farm home. Running
water for the 61 per cent who now
must carry water, and bath rooms for
the 80 per cent who now have none,
are other things that would lighten
the woman's labor and add to her
comfort and contentment. Labor
could be lessened if the farm house
were as well equipped as the up-to-date
barn, which the farmer looks
upon as so much currency with which
to buy efficiency. The Installation of
modern lighting systems would re
lease some of the time of the women
n I he 79 pit cent of homes where
kerosene lamps are. used. The Ini
tial cost would be small when
welshed nsnlnst convenience and
'omfort. The installation of heat-
'ns flVstems would release some of
'he time of the 54 per cent of wom
en who care for two. coal or wood
stoves.

Been R..lset.d a. Philippine Important Work tor Her Pso-
Commissioner to tha U. S. P'a In America.

THE CHILDREN OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONER.
Tha eaby of This Group Speaks Three Languages Vlsayan, Spanish and
English.
Permit us to present the De Vejrrs
family.
The lion. Jaime C. de Veyra Is the
Resident Cununlsslnner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has Just been elected to a second term
of three years. As Resident Commis
sioner he has a seat on the floor of
the American Congress, the privilege
of Inking part In debates, although no
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra hns an Inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
kiddles. The De Veyrn tninlly. Individ
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa
bllltles of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islnnds have In Washington.
The commissioner Is a 100 per cent
Filipino, a Vlsnynn, and Is one of the
foremost leader of the party In power
III the Islands. During American occu
pation he has been successively gov
ernor of his province, member of the
Philippine legislature, cabinet mem
ber and executive secretary of the
Islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines, he was originally a newspaper
man. He was one of the founders of
El Nuevo Din of Cehu, the first Fili
pino paper published advocating Phil
ipplne Independence The paper came
under the censorship of fienernl Mc
Intyre, and on the appearance of the
first number the editors were left In
the slnpular position of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband. Is
a "live wire" In the Philippines' cause
She Is tha best known T'lllplria In
America. She Is an Interesting public
speaker and Is constJintly giving Illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra Is a
publicity bureau all In herself and hus
put the Philippines on the map, so far
as the women folk of Washington con
gressiorml circles are concerned.
"I find that the Filipino people have
been much misrepresented In the Unit-

ed States," says Mrs. de Veyra. "I dc
not mean to Infer we are perfect, foi
we are not. My people have most ol
the defects, I suppose, that other bu
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we a Christian people,
hut our race has a history that we are
not ashamed ot Throughout the Phil
ippine Islnnds the people are now-
working earnestly to Improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which is one of Uie dearest desires of
the entire citizenship of tha Islands.1
To American women whose Ideas of
Filipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve
lation. She Is sought by women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
Impromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart the women of her
country.
At a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account of the work of a woman's club
In Manila which Nmpplles milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work
ing women, provides Christmas cheer
for the lepers, tha Insane and the con
victs, and gathers data to Influence leg
islation for tha benefit of Filipino wo
men and children.
The four little De Veyras, shown In
the picture, having attended the pub
lie schools In Manila, slipped right Into
the same grades In the schools of
Washington. Even little) Mary, the
baby of tha family, siaks three lan
guages her native tongue, Spanish
and English.

the war bring prosperity, Mr. ITnm-

Assuming that the posl-war pur

Crammond said during the past five

The national wealth of Japan, he
'Rtlintaed, hud been doubled by the

On the basis of a post-war niaili
